I'm thinking your question means to ask, "<em><u>What</u></em><em> is popular sovereignty?"</em>
"Popular sovereignty" means the people are in charge of establishing a government over themselves.
The founding fathers of the United States adopted the idea of popular sovereignty from Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke (of England) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (of France).
The Declaration of Independence (1776), written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, asserted the concept of popular sovereignty. The Declaration insisted that people institute governments in order to secure their rights, and that governments get their authority from the consent of the governed. "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends," the Declaration of Independence said, "it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
The Hasidim are Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox), the most conservative members of the Orthodox branch of Judaism. Unlike other Orthodox groups, they place great emphasis on joy and spirituality. (The Hasidic movement started as a reaction against the perceived overly "academic" nature of Judaism at the time).
<span>Hasidim wear distinct clothing that other Haredi and Orthodox Jews may not wear. They wear their tallit katan over their shirts, while other Orthodox Jews wear them under their shirts with only the tzitzit hanging out. </span>
<span>Hasidic men also practice mikveh immersion daily before morning prayers, whereas most male Orthodox Jews only practice mikveh immersion on special occasions.
</span>Hasidic Jews are a sub-grouping of Orthodoxy. They are more conservative, often live in insular communities. They try to abide every law and also try very hard not to assimilate and that is why they live mostly (if not always) in communities with other Hasidim.
<span>they are the "ultra-Orthodox" (although this is a term that is not used by the Hasidic, since it gives off an extremist vibe).
